Asteroid (Japanese: アステロイド Asteroid), also known as the Asteroid Belt or the Asteroid Field (Japanese: アステロイド・フィールド Asteroid Field), is the name of two stages in the original Star Fox. Andross is trying to set up a base here.

It is the second stage on both level 1 and level 3. The boss of the stage on level 1 is Rock Crusher, and the boss of the stage on level 3 is Blade Barrier.

In the level 1 stage, the player can go to the Black Hole by destroying a golden asteroid in the middle of a rotating line of asteroids, and then passing through the center where the golden asteroid was. This must be done three times. Then, an asteroid with a face will appear, and destroying this leaves a portal behind that warps the player to the Black Hole.

In the level 3 stage, the player can to go to Out of This Dimension by destroying the second giant asteroid which appears (it is on the right side of the screen). After destroying it, an egg shoots out and hatches into a bird, and the player must fly their ship directly into the bird to warp to Out of This Dimension.

The manual gives this description:

Asteroid Field

There are two asteroid fields, consisting of thousands of small planetoids, surrounding Corneria. These swarming chunks of rocks form a dangerous natural barrier to invasion of the planet, as they must be carefully navigated through. However, Andross has developed a powerful new battleship, known as the Rock Crusher, which is capable of reducing planetoids to cosmic dust. It is up to the Star Fox Team to destroy these Rock Crushers before they can clear the way for Andross's main battle armada.
